Private Fee Based Counselling

 Life rarely falls apart all at once. It often builds quietly, stress, worry, exhaustion, grief, or feeling responsible for too much, until something starts to feel heavy or confusing and you’re not sure where to begin. When that happens, a little extra support can make a difference. At Mind & Me Counselling, we offer a calm, understanding space to talk, reflect, and make sense of what you’re going through, whether that’s anxiety, relationship concerns, or simply needing someone to listen. 

At Mind & Me Counselling, you’re met with understanding, care, and space to talk things through at your own pace. This is a place where you can untangle what’s going on, make sense of your experiences, and feel supported without being judged or rushed.

I work in a way that is steady, compassionate, and grounded in real life, not quick fixes or surface-level advice.

Sessions are shaped around who you are, what you’ve been through, and what you need right now. Sometimes that means talking things out. Sometimes it means slowing everything down. Sometimes it’s about finding language for things you’ve never been able to explain before.

There’s no pressure to have it all worked out. We start where you are.

Our work is guided by the Pyramid Healing Pathway, a framework I developed through years of counselling, supervision, and lived experience.

It helps bring clarity to what feels overwhelming by gently exploring three key areas:

Not Mine
Letting go of responsibility -  guilt, or emotional weight that was never yours to carry.

I Choose Me
Coming back to yourself — your needs, limits, values, and sense of self.

This Is My Life
Making choices that feel right for you, based on what matters now, not what others expect.

We move through this framework at your pace, revisiting parts as needed. It’s not about forcing change; it’s about understanding yourself and feeling steadier in how you move forward.
